Reading
Introduction
Before Ss open their books, ask them to work in groups to discuss either of these questions:
1. Who owns English?
Ss may look somewhat confused by this question. If so, give them more guidance: ‘Which countries
speak English around the world?’, ‘Does the English language belong to England? If not, why
not?’, ‘Is the English language changing? If so, how?’
The aim is to get Ss to realize that English is global now and that there isn’t one “correct” form of
English anymore, but many varieties of English.
2. Does ‘Vietglish’ exist?
If necessary, explain that this is a blend of Vietnamese and English. Give some guidance: ‘Can you
think of any words or phrases which blend the two languages?’, ‘Is this increasing in Viet Nam?
If so, why?’, ‘Can you invent some new “Vietglish” words or expressions?’
1 Now open the books and ask Ss to scan the text to find the words: settlement, immersion, derivatives,
establishment and dominant. T may help Ss work out the meanings of these words out of the context.
- settlement (n) = the process of people making their homes in a place
- immersion (n) = the language teaching method in which people are put in situations where they have
to use the new language for everything
- derivatives (n) = words that have been developed from other words
- establishment (n) = the act of starting or creating something that is meant to last for a long time
- dominant (adj) = more important, powerful or noticeable than other things
2 a First, have Ss work independently, reading through the text and choosing a suitable heading for each
paragraph. Then allow them to share their answers before checking with the whole class.

b T may set a longer time limit for Ss to read the text again and answer the questions. Ask Ss to note
where they found the information that helped them to answer the questions. Ss can compare their
answers in pairs before discussing them as a class.
Key: 1. It is the export of the English language and the great growth of population in the United States
that has led to its dominance in the world today.
2. Mass immigration.
3. They do all their school subjects and everyday activities in English.
4. It is a blend of English and Hindi words and phrases.
5. They are being invented every day all over the world due to the free admissions of words from
other languages and the easy creation of compounds and derivatives.
Speaking
3 First, give Ss 5 minutes to put their own list in order of importance. Encourage Ss to think of the reasons
for their order. They may add other methods they use that aren’t on the list.
4 Now in small groups, Ss compare their lists and explain their order to group members. Go around to
provide help. Call on some Ss to present their top three methods and the reasons for it. Other groups listen
and give comments.
5 Ask Ss to work in pairs, taking one of the ideas in 3 and discussing the way to achieve it. Move around to
provide help. Call on one pair to present their ideas. Ask other pairs to add to the list.
Alternatively, T may organise a quick game. In 5 minutes, pairs write down as many ways to achieve the
goal as possible. When the time is up, call on the pair with the most ideas to present their answers. Other
pairs add to the list.
